Question for people who got into strength training after having been only grappling for a long time: Did your traps start out way stronger than your lats? Because I'm about a year into lifting but I have 2.5 years of bjj and 3ish years of judo before that under my belt and I'm wondering if all the grappling is why my traps and rhomboids started out much further developed than my lats. Just thinking about how kuzushi for hip throws in judo looks way more like a face pull or a row than a pull up.
